<p>Hey folks! So in principle we need a lang team liaison. I'm not sure who that should be -- I think we should clarify how much of a role we really expect to need. I'd be ok with being someone that can be pinged when stuff arises, and we will typically do monthyl check-ins on progress, but I don't think I can offer much in the way of following along with threads or discussions.</p>

<p>Are there other <span class="user-group-mention" data-user-group-id="1977">@T-lang</span> folks who would be interested in doing more?</p>

<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="116009">@nikomatsakis</span> Given recent discussions about the liaison role, it seems worth confirming: does this need to be a <span class="user-group-mention" data-user-group-id="1977">@T-lang</span> member, or could we potentially have someone else fill the role and provide semi-regular updates for us?</p>

<p>I've been debating in my head how liaisons fit into the proposed alternative structure, but I still think it largely makes sense that every active lang team project should have <em>somebody</em> who is supposed to be the rep from the lang team proper, though I think that rep doesn't necessarily have to be super active in the discussions.</p>
